Socially Orcward
By Lisa Henry & Sarah Honey
Adventures in Aguillo, Book 3
Dave is a simple orc with a simple life. He has his dragons, his music, and his friends, and that’s mostly enough. Sometimes though, he gets lonely and wishes there was someone he could share his interests with—maybe even someone he could hold hands with, although he knows it’s not likely that there’s a special person out there for someone who’s seven feet tall and green to boot.
So it’s a delightful surprise when Simon Perrin, the new kitchen boy, not only knows all about dragons, but seems to like Dave as much as Dave likes him back. But all is not what it seems, and Simon is hiding a dark secret. There are sinister forces at work, and Simon needs to find a way out of the situation he’s trapped in. If he doesn’t, it could mean disaster for the entire kingdom of Aguillon, and an even more terrible fate for Pie, Dave’s beloved fingerdragon.
When Dave discovers Simon and Pie are in danger, he’s swept up in a rescue mission that spans an ocean, tests a friendship, and has more dragons that you could poke a lute at. It’s going to be a wild ride—literally.

“I heard a rumour that the new kitchen boy’s been spending a lot of time in your tower,” Loth said one morning as they walked around the palace gardens.
Dave held Bobo up toward the sunlight, trying to get him to extend his wings. Bobo glared at him. “Simon, yeah.”
“I’ve been told he’s very attractive,” Loth said, and made his eyebrows wiggle like two jousting caterpillars. “Gold hair like silk, green eyes like sea glass, and an arse you could pound like bread dough.”
“Why would I want to pound Simon’s arse?” Dave asked, his brow furrowing. “He’s my friend. He hasn’t done anything wrong.”
Loth sighed.
“Oh,” Dave said at last, carefully unhooking Bobo’s claws from around his wrist. “You think I should like him the way you like Quinn—that I should think he’s attractive.”
“Don’t you?”
Dave thought about that for a moment and then shrugged. “I don’t know. He just looks like a human.”
He’d certainly never thought that Simon had hair like gold silk. Simon’s hair was kind of dark blond and messy, and sometimes clumped up like a dirty mop because he’d slept on it weird. And his eyes weren’t green like sea glass, whatever that was. They were green like green eyes were green. And why would Loth say that Simon had an arse like dough? That wasn’t very nice. Dough was sticky and you sometimes got your fingers stuck in it and they wouldn’t come out, and Dave didn’t think that sounded like something you wanted to happen with an arse. When he thought about it, Dave did agree that Simon had a nice shaped bum—Dave just didn’t want to pound it.
“I dunno if he’s attractive, but he likes dragons,” Dave said at last, and beamed.
Loth grinned, and patted him on the back. “Well, I’m glad you have a new friend.” His eyebrows did that wiggly thing again, and Dave still didn’t know what it meant.

About Lisa:
Lisa likes to tell stories, mostly with hot guys and happily ever afters.
Lisa lives in tropical North Queensland, Australia. She doesn’t know why, because she hates the heat, but she suspects she’s too lazy to move. She spends half her time slaving away as a government minion, and the other half plotting her escape.
She attended university at sixteen, not because she was a child prodigy or anything, but because of a mix-up between international school systems early in life. She studied History and English, neither of them very thoroughly.
She shares her house with too many cats, a dog, a green tree frog that swims in the toilet, and as many possums as can break in every night. This is not how she imagined life as a grown-up.
Lisa has been published since 2012, and was a LAMBDA finalist for her quirky, awkward coming-of-age romance Adulting 101, and a Rainbow Awards finalist for 2019’s Anhaga.

About Sarah:
Sarah lives in Western Australia with her partner, two cats, two dogs and a TARDIS.
A teacher once told her life’s not a joke.
